Balangan beach is a beautiful white sandy beach and is on the west side of the Bukit Peninsula ( on the way to Uluwatu). It takes around 40 minutes from Kuta depending on how the traffic is flowing. You can surf, search for beach treasures, explore the reef, hang out in the shade of the warungs, have some lunch, enjoy an icy cold beer, or rent a sun lounge or surf board. You can sleep the night in the very basic rooms. There are a heap of stairs so keep this in mind if you have little children or elderly people with you. xxx

I adore cats, and lost mine tragically a couple of years ago since being a working mamma, with two little boys unfortunately I don’t have the time to care for one ( or 120 ) of my own. So I took the chance to pop out to Villa Kitty which is about 10 minutes from Ubud for some quality time with these gorgeous feline friends.

Villa Kitty is a rescue and adoption centre for Bali’s abandoned cats and kittens. You can find it at Jalan Ambarawat Banjar Tengahi Lodtunduh t: +62 8585 7584 131 or +62 361 981651. It was founded by Elizabeth Suttie (Henzell) in 2009 as part of a local shelter for abandoned dogs and has since relocated and grown to be the most beautiful sanctuary for the cats and kittens. The team is truly dedicated to making a difference to the lives of Bali’s cats they survive solely on donations to continue. Thank you to the gorgeous Dr Sinta for so genrously showing us around the beautiful facility. Please consider donating in whatever way you can to support their work.
